Since most wireless carriers do not trust their own networks, they set up things like throttling caps in place on the so-called "unlimited" data plans that they sell to consumers. It's a certain way for them to have a needed excuse whenever they are worried that heavy data users would impact the connections that other users have on their networks.

According to Droid Life, these caps would allow these carrier companies to throttle a certain user's connection if that user ever eclipses them in a billing cycle. It's pretty weak, especially when every single one of these carrier companies spends most of their days bragging about and trying to convince people that they have the best network in the business.

Among these carrier companies, T-Mobile has always offered been offering one of the higher throttling caps, right at around 28GB. As of yesterday, though, reports have confirmed that they have increased it to 30GB.

According to Phone Scoop, people will see caps that would start at around 22GB of usage in a month, much like Verizon and AT&T, which is why T-Mobile is clearly offering its users a chance to use more data before they might exceed the limit and eventually see "network management" take over their connection. But despite all that, it still hasn't made up their case for needing a cap in the first place.

Many people, as well as analysts, are thinking that if these carriers claim to be unlimited, yet are unable to handle an unlimited amount of usage, then these companies should stop calling their data plan services "unlimited," since the term means WITHOUT LIMITS, yet clearly these caps are the limiting factors towards this lie that these carriers have been bringing along all this time.

But T-Mobile customers would definitely feel good about that extra 2GB on their so-called "unlimited" plan. At the end of the day, customers will still be satisfied.
